For many years, airline crew members have expressed a wide variety of health concerns about contaminated air on aircraft. Now the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has invited stakeholders to execute a 36-month study that seeks to understand the potential long-term effects of contaminants through a comprehensive assessment of cabin air quality.
“The general objective of this research project is to enable step-advances in the analysis of the issues raised by contamination events resulting from oil leakage (including oil pyrolysis products) on board commercially operated large transport aeroplanes and the potential toxicological risks in light of the existing European standards and legislation on the quality of indoor air and professional exposure limits,” says EASA in its ‘call for tenders’.
